[0017] The present invention is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. The preferred embodiments of the present invention are shown in the accompanying drawings. The purpose of the accompanying drawings is to supplement the description of the text part of the specification with graphics, so that people can intuitively and vividly understand each technical feature and the overall technical solution of the present invention, but it cannot be understood as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0018] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown in the drawings, a mixer assembly includes an air inlet cavity 11 provided on a mixer body 1 for the inflow of intercooled air, and an outer wall of the mixer body 1 is provided with a jacket 2 having an inlet 21 for the inflow of heating medium and an outlet 22 for the outflow of heating medium.
[0019] Specifically, the jacket 2 is an independent cavity integrally formed on the surface of the mixer body 1, and after the inflow of heating medium, the jacket 2 can be used to heat the mixer body 1, thereby increasing the temperature of the gas in the mixer body 1 to avoid icing. The mixer assembly integrates the jacket 2 and the thermostat 3, thereby reducing the number of components. In the embodiment, the jacket 2 is a water jacket, and the inflow and outflow of water are both from the engine.
[0020] As shown in the drawings, Figure 2 The mixer is provided with a thermostat 3, and the thermostat 3 includes a thermostat body 31 and a valve 32, a valve core 33 and a valve core sensing body 34 mounted on the thermostat body 31. The valve core sensing body 34 of the thermostat 3 is arranged in the air inlet cavity 11, and the valve 32 of the thermostat 3 is arranged at the inlet 21 of the jacket 2 for controlling the opening and closing of the inlet 21. The thermostat 3 is a mechanical structure, and the mixer assembly of the present application controls the opening and closing of the water circuit through a pure mechanical structure, which is reliable and durable.
[0021] Specifically, the valve core sensing body 34 contains a medium such as paraffin, which directly contacts the intercooled air and changes in volume due to temperature changes. With the change in volume of the valve core sensing body 34, the valve 32 moves up and down, thereby controlling the opening and closing of the heating water. The arrow direction in the figure is the flow direction of the hot water in the jacket 2. The opening degree of the valve 32 of the thermostat 3 is automatically adjusted according to the temperature of the intercooled air, thereby achieving automatic control of the flow of heating water. This avoids manual operation by the customer and improves customer satisfaction.
[0022] The specific working process of the mixer assembly of the present application is as follows:
[0023] When the intercooled air is >0℃, the volume of the valve core sensing body 34 of the thermostat 3 does not change, and the valve 32 is in a closed state. At this time, the heating water circuit is not open, and the mixer assembly is in a non-heating state, thereby avoiding heating of the intercooled air and improving engine performance. When the intercooled air is <0℃, the volume of the valve core sensing body 34 of the thermostat 3 decreases, and the valve 32 moves downward. At this time, the heating water circuit of the jacket 2 is open, and the mixer assembly is in a heating state, thereby effectively preventing icing of the mixer.
[0024] In specific implementation, the medium in the valve core sensing body 34 of the thermostat 3 is not limited to paraffin, and any medium whose volume can change with temperature can be used.
[0025] As shown in the drawings, Figure 2As shown, the mixer body 1 is provided with a mixed gas outlet cavity 14, which is communicated with the air inlet cavity 11, and the air after intercooling flows in from the air inlet cavity 11 and flows out from the mixed gas outlet cavity 14. The mixer body 1 is provided with a waste gas mixing cavity 13 for flowing in waste gas, which is communicated with the air inlet cavity 11, and the EGR waste gas and the air after intercooling are fully mixed in the waste gas mixing cavity 13. The mixer assembly of the application can be a diesel engine mixer.
[0026] In another embodiment, the mixer body 1 is further provided with a gas mixing cavity 12 for flowing in gas, which is communicated with the air inlet cavity 11, and the gas and the air are fully mixed in the gas mixing cavity 12. Therefore, the mixer assembly of the application can also be a natural gas engine mixer.
[0027] The mixer assembly of the application sets the jacket and the thermostat on the outer wall of the mixer body, the valve core sensing body of the thermostat is arranged in the air inlet cavity, the valve of the thermostat is arranged at the inlet of the jacket for controlling the on-off of the inlet, the thermostat can automatically control the on-off of the heating pipeline according to the temperature of the air after intercooling, effectively prevents the mixer from icing in cold weather, avoids manual operation of the customer, improves customer satisfaction, and the heating pipeline is automatically disconnected in hot weather, avoids heating the air after intercooling, and improves the performance of the engine.
